Rivers of Tears

majestic swimming
with my reflection below
in rivers of tears
want to rise up from the depth
to find my strength like before

Charisma~

I would wish for you
Joy within the depths to find
Spreading smiles across
The very lakes of your heart
Sending ripples far beyond

Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know

Beautifully written. I am sure that your strength will soon return.

It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious
